Brades Farm | Editorial Photography for the Financial Times
I had an informative and enjoyable day at Brades Farm near Lancaster shooting pictures for an article about the ecological impact of dairy farming for the Financial Times.
Father and son farmers John and Ed Towers add Mootral - a garlic-based supplement - to their cows feed, reducing the methane emissions from their (the cows) profuse flatulence by 20% and lowering the environmental impact of the farm by 10%.
Thanks to Ed and John for the comprehensive tour, the coffees and the much needed lend of the wellies.

Leeds City Station for Transport for the North
Another great assignment for Transport for the North this time at Leeds railway station.
Transport for the North exists to make the case to central government for increased transport spending in the North of the country and I’m proud to be able to contribute in some way to that necessary and long overdue aim. To use the existing infrastructure is to see it’s limitations, the age of the rolling stock, the lack of capacity a general sense of a system neglected and lacking the requisite investment over many years.
Bradley Dreha for Dwell Magazine
When Bradley Dreha revamped his bedroom he decided to post before and after pictures on TikTok. The results were so good that San Francisco based design magazine Dwell got in touch to ask him for an interview.
Dwell then asked me to visit Bradley at his home in Walton, Merseyside to photograph him and his room for the latest issue of the magazine.
You can see more of Bradley’s work on Instagram @shitprints2
